I really don't know if the quality of healthcare in Mexico is sufficient to contain it, but it seems so.


Trust me, they can't.

if 100k mexicans decide to hit our border at one time, no fence would stop them. Hell, 10k could probably overwhelm a single point in the border.

its definitely a nightmare scenario. but its just that, a nightmare.

I doubt many people from liberia are thinking - let's go to nicaragua or costa rica for health care. Not to mention getting there would likely mean being routed through Europe or the US, which has much better health care.

And if they can afford the ticket, why would they go to those countries and not a place with world class health care.

It just doesn't make sense.

Mass migration from Mexico and Central America has already screwed up this country to such an extreme degree. I bet the ebola sufferers cost us less money then the economic damage from criminals and potential Democrat voters.

The General is right, but I bet he is mostly saying this to get some more money to play with and attention. Can't have AFRICOM getting more attention then SOUTHCOM.

So...is this different than the mass migration that is currently pouring across our border?

I think Haiti is the place you would want to go to if infected.

I hate defending liberals but......

Economy wrecked = how is it worse now than 6 years ago? Are you serious?
Healthcare in shambles = meh, its the same for me
Multiple Foreign policy disasters = not as bad as what Bush did
Using government agencies as a weapon against citizens = agreed, its worse than Bush
Enable a viral pandemic = propaganda
Employ military against the citizenry = propaganda
